This section includes key markers to assess maternal health during pregnancy:
- Full Blood Count (FBC): Helps evaluate red and white blood cell levels, providing insights into anaemia or infection.
- Thyroid Function (TSH, FT3, FT4): Monitors thyroid function to detect imbalances that can affect pregnancy outcomes.
- Glucose (HbA1c): Screens for gestational diabetes by evaluating blood sugar control.
This section includes critical tests to monitor foetal development:
- Serum Ferritin: Assesses iron stores, vital for both maternal health and foetal development.
- Iron: Iron deficiency can affect oxygen transport, leading to complications during pregnancy.
- Vitamin D: Supports foetal skeletal development and reduces the risk of pregnancy complications.
Key vitamins and minerals that play a significant role during pregnancy:
- Vitamin B12: Important for the formation of red blood cells and the healthy development of the foetal nervous system.
- Folic Acid: Essential in preventing neural tube defects and ensuring the healthy development of the foetus.
- Calcium (Adjusted): Critical for foetal bone development and maintaining maternal bone density.
- Magnesium: Supports muscle function and helps reduce the risk of premature labour.
Tests to monitor hormone levels during pregnancy:
- Progesterone: Essential for maintaining the uterine lining and supporting a healthy pregnancy.
- Oestradiol: A form of oestrogen that supports foetal development and regulates maternal physiology.
- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): While typically lower during pregnancy, abnormal levels may indicate hormonal imbalances.
The wellness report for pregnancy provides:
- Personalised recommendations for managing common pregnancy symptoms like nausea, fatigue, and joint pain.
- Dietary advice to support foetal development, improve maternal nutrition, and reduce complications like gestational diabetes.
- Lifestyle changes to promote healthy weight gain, improve sleep, and manage stress during pregnancy.
- Supplement recommendations for essential nutrients like folic acid, vitamin D, and iron to support a healthy pregnancy and prevent deficiencies.
